During the chase, the suspect crashed into several other cars and became trapped in a Chevron parking lot on West Valley Highway. He then ran away.

When police approached, he said, “I took a lot of fentanyl.” Police believe he said this to avoid being taken to jail.

He did not avoid jail.

The man had several outstanding warrants, including failure to register as a sex offender, escape from the department of corrections and vehicle theft.

He now faces many new charges, including second-degree assault, felony eluding and hit-and-run. He was medically discharged before being booked.
